Tips and tricks for using Lord Ironraven effectively? He sure is one big target.

I recently used Ironraven to good effect. He's an arrow magnet, and he can't hide in with the troops.

So I put a greater magic armor and divine favor on him, and pushed him to the front, with the knights in a line behind him, and the ironspines and Halbarad in the rear. With Deflect, Ironraven has a 13 DV, and with Divine Favor he ignores that first lucky 10. Since he's Big, Halbarad can always see him to pop some bandages on him. Then you crash into the enemy lines, First Strike and Mercy the first warrior you see, and now you've got chaos in the enemies ranks.

I've only got 2 Crusader games under my belt (and not likely to get more), but that worked very well both times.

Lord Ironraven and Marcus Gideon has to be the toughest pair I have had to face off against. The lady in our group uses that one - two punch and squashes about three or four grunts each and sometimes a leader before they can be stopped. The only save is if you can kill Halbarad before he can do too much healing.
